Perhaps you sold your findings to the highest bidder, or collected materiel to a local rebellion.

Feature: Ear for Rumor
You can reliably find traces of truth in rumors to make out the location of different points of interest, like a dungeon or a sunken merchants ship. If you spend at least three hours in a social place, like a tavern, and expends a minimum of 10 GP, you gain knowledge of the location of the nearest preferred target you choosed or rolled in the table. If there aren't any of your preferred target in the area, you instead must spend 15 GP and four hours, and gets the location of the nearest point of interest, no matter the type. The gold you spend represent the cost of food and alcohol you buy to make the locals talk, as well as bribes to local plunderers.
Suggested Characteristics
Treasure hunters are sometimes romanticised as bold heroes who sets their life at risk to bring treasure of old to the surface, and other times they are reduced to simple criminals, disturbing the peace of the tomb. But most treasure hunters are daring individuals, who won't let a simple trap hinder them from emptying a dungeon.
